Yun Mei’s eyes grew moist as he lowered his head in silence. Jin Yu knew he must have suffered many grievances over the past two years, having been neglected and facing cold sarcasm upon his return home.
He quietly leaned into Jin Yu’s embrace, contemplating their future. “After we leave, you will no longer be the head of the Jin family. What will you do next?” Even without being the family head, she would have endless wealth, but idling away her days was not her desire.
“I’ll handle those matters. You just need to follow me; don’t worry. Although I’m no longer the Jin family head, ensuring that you and our future children never lack for anything is easy for me.” Su Xi’s identity and Xu Yi Yun Mei’s story had spread throughout the town, with her identity as ‘Jin Yu’ known even to outsiders due to business reasons.
If they continued living here after she was no longer the family head, outside rumors might harm them. Jin Yu had considered changing their identities and starting anew but felt uneasy about losing their names. She just wanted to live peacefully with her family, free from worldly gossip.
Hearing this, Yun Mei felt reassured, leaning into Jin Yu’s embrace. He found it amusing that he had worried. He was no longer the woman who spent family assets frivolously. Since becoming the Jin family head, she had transformed into a steady and reliable partner. This version of her made him feel secure enough to entrust his life to her and envision a future together.
After Jin Yu left, Yun Mei told Dao’er about his wife’s departure and that he would follow her, but Dao’er couldn’t come along. Remaining silent, Dao’er lowered his head, filled with sadness. “Young Master, let Dao’er serve you for a few more days, help you pack, and see you off.”
Yun Mei looked at Dao’er, who had served him since childhood, and felt reluctant. “Dao’er, in the future, when I’m not around, you must not speak so carelessly.”
He worried about Dao’er, who had never suffered before and might struggle without him, uncertain if his wife would return to the Jin family.
Dao’er lowered his head, trembling. Yun Mei grew concerned, “Dao’er?”
